[dev1033] Ideas for a Two-Tier Class System: Jobs on Top of Weapon Specializations

[Cairdeas]

If I understood carpe's op correctly really all the title system gives you are bonuses and abilities that augment your current equipped weapon specialization. So if you were a rdm/glad, you'd be a sword user with across the board spells chosen from other classes you leveled that would be amplified with red mage abilities whether they be passive or aactive.

Correct. A RedMage/Gladiator would be somewhat proficient in Elemental Casting, Healing, and Buffing/Debuffing, but would be prime for Elemental Weapon Skills. Dealing more damage with them then a normal Gladiator would for instance.

While a Redmage/Conjurer would be more proficient at dealing direct damage elemental attacks and heals, and Redmage/Thaumaturge would be better at using Damage over Time elementals and heals.

See Cairdeas' last post and that might be the one you're talking about.

No that's not it, it was really in depth.

Oh... Then I have no idea. >.>

At any rate, I hope that whatever Matsui and his team are working on resembles this. The other option is fine too, but I feel that this is probably the option that does the least damage to the armory system as it is.

Although it'd be interesting if you'd have to unlock titles once and be able to use them in every "compatible" class afterwards. I.E. Get to rank x, go on a quest and unlock a title like Knight, Magus, or Black Belt that could be used in various classes like GLD/LNC, CON/THM or Pugilist respectively.

I'd prefer if they didn't lock specific jobs from specific classes at all. I want it to be as open as possible so that people can experiment.
